What kinds of substances can be abused? Just about everything can be abused, because just about everything is a substance which has a balance that can be altered for the positive or the negative. Some things can cause some enjoyment but when out of balance may also cause many ills for mankind and are particular things we should look at more closely. Don't get caught up in the big juicy stuff and start pointing fingers and miss the obvious seemingly little ones and all those other little fingers pointing back at you. Don't talk about drugs and smoking and forget about diet abuse or mindless entertainment.
Have you ever wondered why sexuality abuse and pornography seems so rampant more so in today's society than ever? While we consider this please also consider similar issues that man has been more and more known to succumb to that are seen as more acceptable. As you read this do not make the mistake of not realizing how interrelated other needs are that can be filled by drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, junk food, the list goes on and on. I am only bringing up the subject of sexuality abuse and pornography because they are so overly misunderstood and rarely addressed for any reasons to learn from. Rather is usually avoided for all but what it is intended for. Most just do not understand it, rarely talk about it, never learn from it, and use it as a label to define all that is bad and wrong. For instance, a preacher can finish a sermon on the evils of pornography and sit down and gorge himself on a gluttonous fatty meal full of cholesterol and go the whole week with little exercise and not think anything of it, as he keeps his finger pointed all the while at the evils of others.
The pressures created by the self realization of the vulnerability and fragility of the self combined with a suppressed subconscious knowledge that there is nothing that can be done about our human plight that can be known for real, can give rise to a type of stress that is among the most difficult things to deal with known to man. One of the ways to deal with this stress is adjustment of the biological chemical balances associated with arousal and relief. In sexual regards, a partner is not always available for this task and even when one is, there seems to be a need to heighten or alter the natural, there is often the need to establish some common ground or language between to people that is necessary to consummate a satisfying sexual interaction. Pornography because of its quiet solitary nature does not appear harmful and is available on some level to almost everyone more so now than ever. So is chocolate. There is a differenced but less of one than you might think. Each satisfies a biological urge which is created and heightened by sexuality abuse which is rampant everywhere. Sexual experiences have the ability to temporarily aid in the balancing of the body's chemicals. Our sexual disfunction as a society is in that some much of our daily mentality is composed of the ideas we operate with, transfer, and sell to others, heightens the need for relief of stress and then judges when the choice is made to take actions to do so.
The convenience of having and maintaining another living individual near you in order to allow for the satisfying of this type of need often creates more stress than does the relief abilities it affords in the long run. So the value of the partner diminishes greatly in these areas and is replaced by the neat and tidy convenience of ability to become aroused without a partner or in heightening aid with a partner for the purposes of the afore mentioned needs being met. If there are not enough other meriting qualities in a relationship it will ultimately fail but not because of sexuality issues or pornography. The relationship will fail because it was not built on more reliable factors. This is increasingly more difficult to do as the bombardment from false perceptions of sexuality define world's for our perspectives that can never be met by reality but only by fantasy. Sexuality abuse and Pornography can be used to merge reality and fantasy and if everything else is in good order and balance it can stay there.
The problems with pornography and sexuality abuse are the same with most all other things that provide relief such as drugs or alcohol or even fast food and sugar soda pops and candies is that they are also utilized abusively to gain temporary relief, yet the vast majority of people who have very little balance and no real solid foundation in a good conscious perception and healthy mentality and so our society suffers damage and the problems for it escalate in an exponentially revolutionary manner.
As society has increasingly added additional stresses by increasing reliance on the ills brought forth by the system itself as it strives to stimulate and continually satisfy all levels of biological patterns and urges to sell and design virtually every facet of life image around the sexual image the notions of provisions being constantly upgraded to higher and higher levels of speedy and convenient satisfactions available provided by anything and everything other than with in the responsible confines of a loving marriage, which is almost dead, and in most cases lives on in name only.
Though many marriages survive and remain alive for other reasons the sexual parts slowly fade as the bodies needs are lessoned/ changed, and dies in most cases or falters inevitably with changing biological phases and social and mental stigmas which make it increasingly difficult to rely on what society in greater and greater common with one another has need of to pacify their weaknesses associated with being so vulnerable and desperate. Sexual abuse is only aided by pornography and depicted by it but pornography is really only the fall guy. There is so much more abuse in every other facet of our world in regard to sexual abuse pornography would take a back seat and a much smaller position than it is really made out to be.
